Description
Marsh Quarter Farmhouse is a farmhouse consisting of two parallel ranges, with the rear range dating from the 16th or 17th century and the front range from the 19th century. The rear range is a timber-framed structure that has been underbuilt and refaced in the early 19th century, featuring a ground floor made of painted brick and a first floor that is tile hung. It has a half-hipped tiled roof with a large 16th-century brick chimney stack located off-center. The building has two storeys and attics in the gable end, with three windows that have 20th-century casements and a 20th-century porch on the left side. There is a plinth and a catslide roof at the rear. The front elevation, which is from the 19th century, has a ground floor that is stuccoed and a first floor that is weatherboarded and tile hung on the side elevation. The roof is slate with end brick chimney stacks, and the building has two storeys with three windows featuring 1930s metal framed casement windows and a 20th-century gabled porch.
